Converting java to c# - transform problem

Unity Engine
1

I know i dont need to convert, but I want all my code in c#.
I am learning by using examples etc. Currently I am working on something 2D.

I realise in the java below I am just referencing the x position, but know that it is not directly available to me in c# hence I am using the transform.Translate command.
I have tried in c# changing the Player01 to player after setting player up as a getobject.Fin(“pLAYER01”) but it still doesnt want to let me modify its position giving me the following error:
error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type void' to UnityEngine.Vector3’

java
Player01.position.x = mainCam.ScreenToWorldPoint (new Vector3 (Screen.width - 75f, 0f, 0f)).x;

c#		
Player01.transform.position = transform.Translate (Screen.width - 75f, 0f, 0f);

Any help is appreciated.

Translate modifies the transform, it doesn’t return a new Vector3 position. That code wouldn’t work in US or C#.

you can’t set a component individually, but you can read them and you can set the entire position in one go…

so something like

transform.position = new Vector3(myVariableToChangeInHere, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);

would work?
